When I arrived at home, finally, I had so many things to do before the 17th of August - the date of the first airing.

My Experience on a Game Show, Part 6 - Our Last Day in New York

So, here we were.  I was a big fat loser in New York City.  I had blown my big chance.  And it all seemed so unfair!  My answer wasn't wrong.

My Experience on a Game Show, Part 5 - Episode 130

Linda and I were whisked away to our own private dressing room.  OK, it was more like a very large closet, but it did the trick.  We needed to quickly change to uphold the illusion that this was all occurring 3 days later, not 30 minutes.

My Experience on a Game Show, Part 3 - The Pre-Game Show

The 6am wakeup call came waaaaay too early for me.  I am not a morning person.  Nevertheless, Linda got up and showered, and I did the same after her.  Linda and I gathered our things, including our two clothing changes - we were to carry them both other - they had been approved the night before - and a book and shirt I wanted Regis to sign.  We then went downstairs to discover we were among the first to arrive at the van to take us to WABC studios.

When we arrived at Laguardia, we went to get our bags.... only to find out that our driver already had them.  That's right.  Disney sent a driver.

My Experience on a Game Show, Part 1 - How I Got To New York

As many of you are aware, I was on a game show in August 2000.  It was a small production, called "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire," starring a little-known daytime talk show host named Regis Philbin.
